Internet2 Network Security SIG

[Adair Thaxton <>]

And of course, I forgot to add - the Call For Participation for Global 
Summit is still open!  We had a lot of great proposals for TechEx, in 
all tracks (Advanced Networking seems to have had to cut the majority of 
their talk times to 20-30 minutes, to fit everyone in!), which is 
fantastic.  We hope to have a similarly strong program for Global 
Summit, with your help!
